not?

:khan:

It's been so many years and still people write news about team games without disclosing team lineups. I just don't know what's the point to show this for everyone if it only makes sense for pretty close circle who already knows all this stuff.

In links you have hoq site, just jump in and there you can see every team member.

Without lineups in the first place, this piece of news does not generate enough interest for me to investigate it further. It's more likely that I would simply ignore this boring news than go to some websites and analyze teams manually.

What a loss

You think I am alone who is not interested about boring list of team names which don't mean anything at all?

Didnt you complain that the news "doesnt disclose team lineups" in the first place?

As you see, other people hardly even bother to write any comments. This is one of the most boring, unattractive and least commented (until I came) news post on ESR EVER! Where is the story? Where is the background? Who are the stars that will show their amazing skills Which match is the most awaited? Who is on the verge of being out of the tournament? Which two titans of TDM will clash in the most epic battle of this round? What are player's thoughts about their next match? What team can upset everything and beat everyone by surprise? What are the trends from the previous 5 rounds?

How can you even defend this piece of soulless machine generated schedule robotically copypasted to ESR?

I know you are probably trolling me, but just in case you are not, heres a simple answer:

A news post containing a simple schedule isnt supposed to lure people into following QL TDM. In fact, theres no point and no need to even try to market QL to anybody these days.

Anybody whos interested in it will either follow the streams/results or play in the league themselves. Everybody else will not even know that the HoQ league exists :D

There are plenty of people who might be wondering if a game is worth watching or not based on who is actually going to play. I would also appreciate a "Lineups" collapsible element in these news posts, as has been used often in the past on ESR.

So they are wondering if its worth to watch even tho most games get post-poned, often only an hour before they are supposed to happen?

...That seems optimistic

Which brings to my original point that there is little reason to post this info for everyone if it makes sense only for people who already participate in this.

It's needed not to market QL, but to provide some guide and background, who are playing, which teams are important, which matches decide something important. I can't watch all streams and follow all games, but maybe if I understood which game is most significant, I would watch it. I am already a long time player, I don't need any marketing, but I still get zero information from this post.

Of course there is a purpose for this post. As I said, this is a tightly knit community, so most people who care about QL TDM will already know the teams and players. And if they dont, some will actually bother to make the effort to click on the HoQ website link and read up the team line-ups ;)

I still don't see a purpose. If someone is interested in QL TDM, it's easy to find HoQ website and twitter in Google, no need to post any news about it.

People don't just "bother to make the effort", they first need a reason to bother. This post gives no reason at all, it's just some internal information for inner circles of TDM who don't even need it because they already know it.

"it's just some internal information for inner circles of TDM who don't even need it because they already know it."


Yea every tdm fan/player memorizes the entire schedule for the season, for every single round

They know the address of HoQ website.

but people visit esr much more frequently, since its a hub for everything quake related

So it's okay that 17 TDMers decide to hijack it as their own posting board just for personal convenience?

My opinion is that if you post something on the front page for all ESR users, it should contain information useful for everyone, not just for your buddies.

I think its okay considering that those 17 TDMers make up for like 33% of the ESR community

Why there is even a HoQ website then? Wouldn't it be simpler to move everything to news posts here? Would be more informative too!

"Why there is even a HoQ website then?"

So Doz3r can reply with "That's not possible with the HoQ system..." whenever the community makes suggestions, thats why!

I agree.
